How to make feta or graviera saganaki (fried cheese snack)

One of the most endeared mezes (snacks) to Greeks everywhere lands on tables everywhere, steaming, sizzling hot, accompanied by a slice of lemon, making all diners’ mouths water. The saganaki cheese crust is divine. What was once a simple rectangle, takes form. Here at Horio, we have the best method for creating a wonderful saganaki, using either feta or graviera cheese; as well as, many recipes that go well with a large group of friends dining together.

Ingredients we will need:

Horio Feta or Horio Graviera cheese

Some flour to sprinkle (for the crust)

Horio Classic Olive Oil for frying

A slice of lemon (or more, depending on how much lemon we want for our saganaki)

Directions

Slice Feta or Graviera cheese into 1-1.5 cm thick slices (otherwise, it will melt in the pan).

We wet the cheese with water and then flour them. The flour will give a golden crust when it fries.

In a small pan, we place some olive oil and allow it to heat. As soon as it is hot, we place a slice of cheese and fry for a little until both sides get a golden color.

We remove with a spatula and place on a piece of kitchen paper in order to absorb the excess olive oil, serve immediately, so that it may be hot, squeezing lemon at the very end.
